"Wanna Get Up" is a song recorded by Belgian/Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited. It was released in 1998 as the debut single from the band to feature Romy van Oojen and Marjon van Iwaarden as the lead vocalists, and was also the lead single from 2 Unlimited's fourth studio album, II (1998). Romy and Marjon were picked out of 150 candidates at various auditions in Holland, Belgium and the United Kingdom.

In an interview with Music & Media, producer De Coster commented on the song: "With the raps deleted, the songs have a more conventional 'verse-chorus-bridge' pop structure. We wanted radio to get on board at once. These days it's much harder to cross over from the clubs to radio than it was seven years ago when we started. Radio and clubs lead separate lives now." Dutch music television channel TMF made the music video of "Wanna Get Up", which was directed by Jan Russel, a "Superclip", the station's highest rotation with 60 plays a week.
